Social bookmarking and news sites are the way to go right now. Well in my mind anyways, I can see where other views and opinions come into play.
Pretty good points, getting traffic to blogs can be tough. For whatever reason, google doesn't seem to like them much (they don't tend to come up terribly high in search.) Have you read this? Blog or Build? About halfway down the page is some really good info comparing blogging to building a more traditional site. Gives some good insight!
You can use site meters and hit counters to increase your blog traffic. I don't know how exactly it works but it has increased my blog traffic at least by 150%.
Some good advice for sure, but people need to be aware these arent techniques to generate you 1000 hits a day in a months time. They are slow and steady ways to get better.
yes GI is right. You can not see a substantial movement in the hits. You can use good advertisements also on your blog. But the best way to increase your hits is to comment in other peoples blog and get them to post comments in your blog. You can add friends and make a circle. discuss topics which might be of interest to many people.
nice tips. I will try to bring my blog www.magicaldentistry.com to new heights, using your tips. I have just now started new blog on dentistry.
Getting traffic to a new blog is agonizingly slow....lol...my blog is 4.5 weeks old and I have 55 average per day (unique) and I'm working my tail off!
but you should never use some bot or tools to increase the traffic as they will affect in long term and may be banned its always better to use natural way
